Each Newly Built Minimoog Model D Is Lovingly Handcrafted By The Employee-owners At The Moog Factory In Asheville, Nc. This 3-oscillator, Monophonic, Analog Synthesizer Is Securely Housed In A Locally-sourced Appalachian Hard-wood Enclosure And Hand-finished Aluminum Chassis. The Circuit Boards Retain The Exact Component Placement And Through-hole Design Of A Beloved 1970's Era Minimoog Model D.

Although no changes have been made to the original sound engine or audio signal path, the minimoog model d now includes a series of popular functional modifications that expand this legendary instrument's sonic capabilities. These modifications include a premium fatar keybed with velocity and after pressure available via top panel cv jacks, a dedicated analog lfo with triangle and square waveshapes, cv outputs for pitch, gate, velocity and after pressure, basic midi integration, and a mixer overload modification, which when engaged, allows the minimoog model d to conjure thicker and far more overdriven sounds than before.

note: Due To The Complexity Of The Build Process Coupled With The Demand For Other Moog Instruments, We Are Only Able To Produce A Small Number Of Minimoog Model D Units Per Month.

3 vintage Moog oscillators

Classic Moog low pass ladder filter with resonance

Analog circuit boards recreated using original designs and component placement

Custom reissued transistors critical to sound quality and character

Military spec precision resistors

Precision Linear System matched JFETs in oscillators

Classic thermoset, knurled pitch and mod wheels

CV Modifications: outputs added for Pitch, Aftertouch, Velocity and Gate (Aftertouch and Velocity have dedicated output level attenuators)

Modulation Modifications: analog Triangle/Square wave LFO and Filter Envelope added as modulation sources, as well as an External Modulation CV input

Overload Modification: the output of the Minimoog Model D is automatically scaled and fed back to the External Audio Input for instantly available overdrive

Improved circuit board connectors for touring reliability
